Lowe admitted to Jimmy Kimmel how he meant to text Robert Downey Jr. a congratulatory text after his win for 'Oppenheimer' at the Golden Globes, but sent it to Cooper instead—not once, but twice.

Rob Lowe sent the loveliest congratulatory text to Bradley Cooper after the 2024 Golden Globes.

The issue, however, is that although Cooper was nominated for both Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama and Best Director of a Motion Picture for his work in Maestro, he did not walk away with a win in either category.


Yes, Lowe sent the text to the wrong nominee.

He told host Kimmel that after the Golden Globes ceremony, he intended to send the message to Robert Downey, Jr. who won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in Oppenheimer.

Lowe explained:

“So Downey does this amazing acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. And I’m so excited for him."
"So I text him: ‘So glad you won. That is the most beautiful acceptance speech I’ve heard in a long time. Boy, do you deserve it.’"
"I hit it. And I realized, oh sh*t, I just sent that to Bradley Cooper... who did not win.”

He continued that his effort to clarify only made matters worse.

"So then I was like, ‘Oh, I gotta make it better.’ And I said, ‘No, no, I meant that for Robert Downey Jr.’ But now that’s even worse!”

Lowe then attempted to send the message to its rightful recipient but somehow managed to text the congratulations to Cooper once again.

When Kimmel asked if Cooper now thinks he's "crazy," Lowe responded:

“He literally said... he said, ‘No, no, no, it’s OK. I like living vicariously through these mistakes.’”

What an awkward exchange! At least Cooper had a great sense of humor about it all.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
